I started reading this book because I was looking for middle grade books to read as pseudo-research for a book I want to write. I did not expect to love this but I did. The Kidds are the most charming family ever. The trouble they find themselves is exciting and often hilarious. It's a well paced book with great illustrations. I bought a copy for my niece as well and will be gobbling all the sequels, too.

Great adventure story with lists of mystery and twists and turns. I am happy to have a "boy book" to recommend, bit of course, I am a girl and I enjoyed it too!
I like James Patterson's Maximum Ride series and wanted to try out one of his children's books. I like that there are short chapters and it was easy for me to get sucked into the story. The beginning of the story tells you about a storm that leads to their father going missing, but he left a list of clues for his four children to follow. I recommend this book if you like adventure!
Probably some 10 year old kid who hates reading might like this, but I couldn't wait for it to end. And why make fun of the overweight child? Ugh. My 1st & last Patterson. (Still love his website to get kids reading, just not this series!)
Thought this was a boring one but then I started loving the diversity of the characters. 39 Clues fever renewed.
Not a bad book, but it did make me a bit sad. Kids really like this stuff?? It's not a book, it's a movie script.
Completely silly, but cute-ish book about a family of 4 kids who are treasure hunters with their parents. It was cute, for what it was, nonsensical, whimsy and fun. I'm a fan of Grabenstein and really didn't feel much of his influence in it though, a little I guess.
